Itinerary description
This makes a good day trip, combining the best parts of Portela and Kavousi
Topos: Crete Canyoning, by Yiannis Bromirakis
Portela I v2 a3 II - very lovely, almost always with running water, jumps, slides
Portela II v3 a4 II - if water levels are low, it will only have standing pools
Kavousi II v2 a2 I - generally dry
Max rap 35m in Portela II
Be careful of hydraulics in Portela with high water.
This track skips the first two raps of Portela I, where you find a siphon filled with plastic waste.
Needs a car shuttle.
Portela is one of the top 3 canyons in the region (along with Arvi and Ha).
